Northern Territory General Practice Education (NTGPE) proudly leads general practice education and training in Indigenous health and primary health care in the Northern Territory.As the only regional training organisation in the region, we are driven by health needs of the Northern Territory community and aspire to train outstanding GP registrars by creating professionally rewarding, diverse and well supported placements. Consistently, GP registrars who train with NTGPE say their training environment in the NT gave them learning opportunities they would not have been able to get in an urban setting. The distribution of training posts throughout the vast and beautiful Northern Territory means GP registrars are trained in a diverse, challenging and professionally rewarding environment. NTGPE sets itself apart from other training providers by delivering medical and cultural training in tandem. It is policy that medical and cultural educators work alongside each other to train GP registrars in the importance of respecting and understanding culture when consulting with Indigenous patients.At NTGPE, the support to GP registrars is exemplary. A team is committed to supporting GP registrars on mainstream and rural placements. Additionally NTGPE has a suite of well designed, practical resources created to help GP registrars with language and cultural barriers as well as offering a unique and innovative communication platform that combines resources and training requirements with peer support and group learning. NTGPE offers training with Fellowship of ACRRM (FACRRM) and/or Fellowship of the RACGP (FRACGP) and Fellowship in Advanced Rural General Practice (FARGP) as endpoints.
